They both seem to be PS4S ripoffs, pardon, inspired, especially the Goodyears that reflect the compound distribution of the PS4S inside out, but then again that's what Michelin deserves for sitting on their laurels for almost 8 years and then releasing a successor that isn't a real successor except in terms of tire noise.

Unfortunately, the Goodyears aren't available in any normal sizes we need, but the Kumho comes in stock SS and SS 1LE sizes, and it's pretty cheap compared to the competition.
Right now on Tire Rack the Kumho ESS and Goodyear SC3 are within $50 of each other in SS 1LE/ZL1 (non 1LE) sizes. The Kumho is currently OOS/backordered with no ETA, the SC3 is in stock. I want to try the Kumho since it did very well in TR testing, but I may give up and go with the SC3 or ECS 02 if they're not available reasonably soon.

Edit- Just realized you weren't talking about the SC3.
